Star and KK getting reps at DE

Sounds like they are going to a 46 or 52 defense.

 

This is the perfect move. The best athletes on defense are the LBs. You cannot have offensive linemen teeing off on them. So you go 5 down linemen and 2 LBs.

 

Then you can audible to a 46 by bringing up Harper to the line and having your two DEs go over the TE.

 

This type of defense requires more stunting by the defensive linemen in a 52 which will keep teams from aiming at Star and Luke, which is what they have been doing the past 2 weeks. This also forces the offensive linemen to stay on the first level. Without threats at DE who need to be doubled or force max pro in a 4-3 you may as well go 52 because one of your LBs is just taking up space on an OL 5 yards deep.

 

Dwan and Cole rotate in at Nose. CJ, Star and KK play over the guards. Horton, Ealy and Addison play over the tackles. Luke and TD roam free and shoot the gaps with their reads. Bring Harper down in the box on the weak side when the offense has heavy personnel. Sub Klein or Blackburn in on 46 sets against the run and take Harper out.

 

When the offense goes spread on a 52, which is what usually happens to defeat a 52, the Panthers have 2 LBs who can cover. As long as it is Davis and Kuechly, I am not the least bit worried about a spread against a 52. If it is  an empty backfield set you now have 1 on 1 matchups with the OL. Empty sets/passing downs you go with Star at Nose, and CJ and Star play 3 techniques over the guards. This should be able to destroy the pocket up the middle one on one and push the QB into the DEs. The OTs are taken away from  Star, CJ, and KK and they only contend with 3 OLs up the middle. This will force the offense to keep at least one back in to block with the penetration that trio will get up the middle. And now Kuechly is free to roam again.

 

WIthout the rotation of Hardy, CJ, and Alexander at DE, the 4-3 is shot.

 

I have been wanting them to go to a 52 against the Steelers when we knew CJ was struggling at DE outside the OT and Hardy was gone with Alexander in limbo. This is the perfect fit with the Panthers current defensive personnel and they will get immediate pressure up the middle against the run and pass. Offensive guards will struggle with CJ  if you use him at DT in a 52.

Quoted because it deserves to be read and possibly re-read.

God I hope you're right.
